About the job
Provide structure. Lead the team. Live the technology.
Welcome to Leitner AG – a true original from the Seeland region. Our surgical instruments are used worldwide in the most demanding operating theatres. We develop manufacturing processes, produce, assemble, and clean – with precision, passion, and team spirit. To turn complexity into precision, we are looking for a personality to take responsibility for our long turning department – not from the office, but right in the middle of the process.
